Directory data as of October 2026. Google ratings/review counts are third-party data and do not by themselves prove clinical quality.

Chillicothe is an uneven dental market, and that is the most useful thing to know before you book. There are 45 dental practices in the Dental.me directory for this Ross County seat, but only 19 of them carry a Google rating, and 18 have a website on file. Twenty-three of the 45 have neither a rating nor a website on file. Among the 19 rated offices, ten hold 100 or more reviews.

That gap is why the Dental.me data is a useful starting point here. The Chillicothe dentist directory separates the rated offices from the unrated ones and orders the field by the Dental.me Score. Use this guide to understand what the numbers show, then use the directory to act on them.

It helps to picture the town’s dental scene as two groups sharing one map. One is small and easy to evaluate: 19 offices with a Google rating, ten of them on 100 or more reviews. The other is larger and harder to read from your phone: 26 practices with no Google rating, 23 of them with no website on file either. Dental.me does not record why a practice has no rating, and a missing rating says nothing either way about the care. It does mean the first group is where you can compare offices on public evidence; for the second, the phone is your research tool.

The market in one snapshot

Across those 19 rated practices, people in Chillicothe have left 3,673 Google reviews, and the town’s average rating sits at 4.36 stars. That average hides a wide spread: nine offices at 4.8 or higher and four below 4.0, two of those four on 2 reviews or fewer. Read the distribution, not the mean.

Chillicothe, OH — by the numbers 45 total practices 19 publicly rated 18 with a website 4.36★ town average 3,673 Google reviews across the rated offices 42% rated Only about 4 in 10 Chillicothe practices carry a Google rating, so a shortlist matters here.

Reading the quality spread

When you break the 19 rated practices into rating bands, the town is not a smooth bell curve. Nine of the 19 (47%) hold a 4.8 or higher; four (21%) sit below 4.0; the other six sit between 4.0 and 4.79. Review depth differs across those bands: seven of the nine at 4.8 or higher hold 100 or more reviews, while the four below 4.0 rest on 49, 16, 2 and 1 reviews. The lowest-rated record with any depth is Christopher Seeley (3.6 across 49 reviews). Check the rating and the review count together.

Where the reviews concentrate

Concentration is the other Chillicothe signature. The six most-reviewed practices hold 2,813 of the town’s 3,673 Google reviews (77%). The largest record belongs to Yonathan Nigatu (4.3 across 706 reviews), followed by Graf Dental Surgery (5.0, 631), Magnolia Dental (4.6, 613), Christine Marquard (4.7, 336), Shine Orthodontics (4.9, 264) and Sheilah M. Gray, DDS (4.9, 263). Three of those six sit below 4.8. Dental.me cannot see local recommendations, only the public review record.

The first six by the Dental.me Score are a different set. Graf Dental Surgery leads it with a 5.0 across 631 reviews, the largest review count of any 5.0-rated office in Chillicothe; it is on the oral-surgeon and implant lists. David L. Upperman, DDS (5.0, 166 reviews) and David Ball (5.0, 161 reviews) follow. Shine Orthodontics (4.9, 264 reviews) is one of the three offices on the orthodontist list, beside Magnolia Dental (4.6, 613) and Rivers Edge Orthodontics (4.3, 28). Sheilah M. Gray, DDS (4.9, 263 reviews) and Wissler, Myers & Kallies Family Dentistry (4.9, 253 reviews) complete the six. Sheilah M. Gray, DDS is on none of the twelve service lists, so call to ask what the office treats. You can compare all of them side by side on the Chillicothe practice directory.

What care you can actually get locally

Chillicothe’s service lists cover more than general dentistry, but several are short. Teeth whitening (9), dental implants (9) and cosmetic dentistry (8) are the longest lists; pediatric care has 7, oral surgery 6, and the emergency and periodontist lists hold 5 each. The endodontist, orthodontist and denture lists hold 3 each, and the prosthodontist list holds one office. Dental.me holds no availability data, so call to ask how soon an office can see you.

The practical read: everyday and cosmetic care have several local listings, and the specialist lists are short. If you already know you’ll need ongoing gum treatment or complex root canal work, ask a local office whether it does that work in-house or refers it out, or look at the nearby towns below.

Practices per specialty Teeth whitening 9 Dental implants 9 Cosmetic dentists 8 Pediatric dentists 7 Oral surgeons 6 Emergency dentists 5 Periodontists 5 Counts reflect practices offering each service, not solo-specialty clinics.

If you already know what you need, jump straight to the service pages: implant dentists, cosmetic dentists, pediatric dentists, emergency dentists, oral surgeons, teeth whitening, periodontists, endodontists and orthodontists each list the Chillicothe practices offering that service.

How to choose in a split market

Because Chillicothe’s ratings are spread wide, the sequence below matters. It starts from the rated offices and checks review depth before stars.

A 4-step filter for Chillicothe 1 Start with the 19 rated offices 2 Favor the 4.8+ top tier 3 Check review depth, not just stars 4 Confirm your service is offered Skip step 1 and 4 of the 19 rated sit below 4.0

Two Chillicothe-specific cautions fall out of the data. First, a missing website is common here: only 18 of the 45 practices have one on file, and 27 do not. An office with no site is not automatically weak, but expect to start with a phone call (all 45 carry a phone number), and lean harder on reviews to judge it. Second, weigh review depth. A 5.0 built on 600-plus reviews, like Graf’s, rests on far more feedback than a 5.0 on a dozen. When two offices tie on stars, check which one has the deeper record. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemised estimate.

Nearby towns in the directory

If the Chillicothe shortlist does not land, neighbouring towns have their own directories: Waverly (10 practices, 7 rated), Piketon (4, none rated), Circleville (20, 12 rated), Ashville (1, rated), Greenfield (3, 1 rated) and Jackson (6, 5 rated). Dental.me holds no drive-time data, so check the distance from where you live.

Whichever direction you go, start from evidence rather than a map pin. The Chillicothe dentist directory keeps the 19 rated offices, their review counts, and their service lists in one place.
